Sorry posted this under another thread originally by accident!
I think I have the wrong job (it pays well, but is M-F during daylight hours)! It certainly does not give me the freedom to get out more than 40-50 days. To get to 50 I would have to ski every day of every weekend, use all my vacation time and call in sick once and a while or go night skiing more often. I have yet to hit 40 (came 1 short several times)
Currently - we ski every day of every weekend + or - a day missed for various reasons here and there (not many). Starting in April it drops to one day per weekend due to sports. We go night skiing from time to time and I have taken a few days off to go skiing as well. Yet I am at 32 days now and will get to around 38.
How the heck does someone get to skiing over 50 days in a single season? Work nights? Work at a Ski Area? Student? Retired? There has to be a strategy to getting there?
To those over 50 days in -
How do you do it?!

I have skied 47 days so far this season and should end over 50 days. I am a passholder at Sugarbush so I start skiing weekends when the mountain opens in November. I ski two days most every weekend, take a few 3 day weekends and take additional days over the Christmas and February vacations with my family. My family also skied on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years day as we celebrate our holidays in VT. Being a passholder, I have also skied on a few marginal days when many other people would not spend money on a lift ticket. I am fortunate that my entire family has a passion for skiing and it's what we do in the winter.
WWF-VT sounds like us...I have 49 days, mostly weekends and holidays.
